ACB. I felt that the plot and the story itself was a good tale. Although, it lacked really ANY character development at all, outside of Flagg. And although the ending was pretty good, there was too much build up.

This is one of King's BEST in my opinion. I WILL agree the character development is a little lacking, but remember this is a story for children.

ABA for me.

...it lacked really ANY character development at all, outside of Flagg. ...I wouldn't go that far. Certainly, it doesn't compare with the character development found in the majority of SK's works, but let's face it, ANY SK novel tends to be remarkable in that area if compared to the majority of other authors.
